Retention rules are associated with the retention query folder but are stored separately from the standard folder metadata. The following considerations apply to retention query folders:

However, in the Folders interface, file names in a given folder must be unique (in the same way that a folder in Windows cannot contain two files with the same name). Do not use the following characters:Ĭontent Server can store multiple files of the same name as separate content items.
Use standard Windows naming conventions when creating folders. The Folders interface follows several conventions familiar to users of file systems:
Specified metadata values can be propagated to the contents of a folder or propagation can be blocked for a given folder. For more information about query folders and retention scheduling, see Folders Retention.Īssign folder security and values for content items created in the folder.
For more information about query folders, see Query Folders and Searches.Ĭreate a retention query folder and assign retention rules for the content items returned by the query. Making a folder read only prevents renaming, moving, or deleting the folder however, content can still be checked into the folder.Ĭreate a query folder that contains content items returned by the query associated with the folder. Any content items associated with the files are set to expired in the repository. When deleted, the folder or file and any shortcuts to it are removed from the folders hierarchy. This does not affect the associated content item.ĭelete a folder or file. Remove a file from the folders hierarchy. Move or copy folders or files to other locations. Shortcuts act as placeholders for the referenced content item. Using Folders, users can perform the following actions with the privileges defined by Content Server's standard security model:īrowse to locate content items for check-in, check-out, and to view and change folder and item information.Ĭreate new content items in a folder or add existing repository content to a folder.Īdd shortcuts to folders or content items in one or more locations. Users can easily view the relationship between folders and subfolders and can browse to a group of content items. This section discusses the following topics: Security and metadata values can be set for a given folder and those values propagated to folders and content items within the folder. Folders are assigned security attributes in the same way they are assigned to content items, including security group, account, and Access Control List attributes, if enabled.īy default, folders inherit the security settings and other default metadata defined for the parent folder. Users can create and edit folders, shortcuts to folders, and links to documents as allowed by Content Server's standard security model. The operations performed in the Folders interface, such as searching or propagating metadata, effectively operate on the associated content items. Shortcuts can be created in order to access a content item from multiple locations in the hierarchy.įiles in the Folders interface are similar to symbolic links or pointers to content items in the repository. Folders and files can be copied, moved, renamed, and deleted. Functionally, folders and files are very similar to those in a conventional file system. The familiar folder and file model provides a framework for organizing and accessing content stored in the repository.
